For the perfect trunk Tetris, we have a few tips for you:
- Place a rubber mat in the trunk to prevent everything from sliding back and forth.
- The order makes the difference. A little rule of thumb: from heavy to light. Heavy and large items of luggage belong at the bottom, followed by the lighter items. The weight should be distributed as evenly as possible from right to left.
- Don't become an impostor! Stacking your luggage high restricts your view to the rear. There is also a risk of luggage being thrown forward during a braking maneuver. A luggage or partition net secures the luggage in the trunk.
- The interior belongs to the children and parents. Do not stow suitcases or bags between people. Under heavy braking, objects can quickly be thrown through the car and cause injury.
- Important items such as an emergency kit, warning triangle, safety vest and first aid kit should always be stowed within easy reach.
- To reach your destination safely, drivers should check the maximum permissible weight for their car, which can be found in the vehicle registration document.
- If the total weight is then correct, it is advisable to adjust the tire pressure to the increased weight.
- If there is not enough space in the trunk and Co, the load capacity can be increased with a roof box.
